Hebrews was almost certainly not written by Paul. However it's purpose does indeed seem to be to assure the early Jewish converts to Christianity that they could more selectively follow the laws of the OT/Torah. The author accomplishes this by using 3 verses from Genesis to "prove" that anytime Jesus's teachings contradict Moses, Jesus wins.

Edit: It's an incredibly shaky argument. Genesis 14:17-20 . Look that verse up and then try to make it make sense.
